KEYNOTE

Meg Bucaro Keynote speaker

Meg Bucaro

Put on Your Big Girl Pants! 

We spend most of our working hours communicating without purpose, then wonder why we don’t secure that client or miss out on the promotion. 

We feel, well, stuck.

Human beings are judged every day by how we show up, personally and professionally.  Our communication style–what we say and how we say it–has become the basis for how others view us and (ultimately) treat us. 

Learn how to show up with purpose and power with Meg’s keynote, which shows how our communication behaviors dictate our future success.

2026 PITCH OFF!

Teams of student entrepreneurs pitch their ideas for new products and a services.
